<p>Highway speeds are worst case scenario so maybe you're right but I doubt it.<p>Your charge rate acceptance number is surprising to me, I've never seen anything like this in my years of experience designing EV batteries. Preconditioning helps extreme fast charging but isn't necessary for 1-2 C charges at all unless it's very cold out.<p>There's some caveats to this depending on the exact chemistry but if anything the newer semi solid state NMC cells are even less dependent on this and can charge down to -20C.</p>

<p>EV battery engineer here. It's not hard. Battery management systems are often over engineered but the state of the art is fairly straightforward and will allow battery packs of sufficient size last 200k miles or more easily.</p>

<p>I highly doubt it's true. I can usually approach the same speed in C if I'm working with a familiar compiler. Sometimes I can do significantly better in assembly but it's rare.<p>I work on bare metal embedded systems though, so maybe there's some nuance when working with bigger OS libs?</p>

<p>To mimic the effect of gravity on the surface of the earth you could stand on a platform that is accelerating. As long as that platform is accelerating you will experience something similar to gravity on the surface of the earth.<p>The relative direction of the acceleration would be "up". This is what she means.</p>

<p>300k on my Toyota right now. Most modern ICE engines should last 200k with no problems. EVs (other than the battery) should last a million miles. Even the batteries are turning out to last longer than everyone expected, ignoring some notable notable failures.</p>

<p>From Wikipedia: <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NextNav" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NextNav</a><p>On March 11, 2024, NextNav announced it signed an agreement to acquire spectrum licenses covering an additional 4 MHz in the lower 900 MHz band (902-928) from Telesaurus Holdings GB LLC, and Skybridge Spectrum Foundation. NextNav acquired the additional spectrum licenses for a total purchase price of up to $50 million, paid for through a combination of cash and NextNav common stock. The acquired licenses are in the same lower 900 MHz band as NextNav's current licensed spectrum. On April 16, 2024, NextNav filed a rulemaking petition with the Federal Communications Commission to deliver a spectrum solution in the Lower 900 MHz band to facilitate a terrestrial positioning, navigation, and timing network (as a complement and backup to GPS) and broadband.</p>

<p>No, probably not  there are no phase issues if you just don't transmit the signal. The hard part would be to determine who's in the room, and then who's talking and then mixing appropriately to eliminate feedback and optimize speaker sound quality. None of which requires signal phase accurate synchronicity.<p>If they're actually able to "sync" (again a poorly defined term) given the problems associated with network latency and different hardware it would border on magic.</p>

<p>I think this is much simpler than what you're suggesting. Careful microphone level management can handle this. No need for audio sync. I know they use the word "sync" but that's a very broad term.</p>

<p>I have the 10 pro and although the camera is definitely an improvement over the 5 I used to own, the overall performance is about the same. I still have my 5, and use it a lot for POS stuff and it's great still. I even have a OnePlus 1 around and it still works decently although it struggles a little with some apps. That's a TEN year old phone.</p>
